First rule of writing: have a notebook hoard
Second rule of writing: the notebooks are too nice to write in

First rule of my existence: hoard notebooks
second rule of my existence: don't write in them because they're too nice to write in
I don't even write and i hoard notebooks

Oh you're in for a treat! It's a HUGE aggregate site of basically all the free patterns out there. I know how to knit but NOT crochet but I do know that they've got lots of Ravelry patterns linked as well as the free ones from Lion's Brand and the like. I hope you find it as essential a website as I do when it comes to busting out the yarn and needles

I know how to knit....doesn't mean I'm great at it Thanks so much for telling me about it!!!

Don't ever write in them. And if you do... only write two sentences on the front page...

*Not an entry*

When I am stressed and need to relax I like to crochet and do "pointillism" with ink.

*Falls over* H-how? That artwork is jaw-dropping and so beautiful! (I'm literally crying right now...that pointillism is amazing, and so inspiring!)

My second love after animals....

I good long ride on hard enduro trails! My dirt bike is my baby. The Desert 100 is the biggest race in this area located in eastern Washington. They finally put up a 100 mile women’s class, which they didn’t have for 40+ years. Now us females have others to compete with! They finally realized that the 50 mile race wasn’t enough for some of us. And competing with males is not proper competition.

Thousands of other dirt bike loving peeps gather in April for a weekend of races, poker runs and the beer tent lol I don’t drink when we’re there luckily.

Last year my other half was my pit crew. He decided to do the poker run instead of the race.

Friends of ours pit as well. I had hit a guy that stopped, didn’t look to see if anyone was coming, and walking right out in front of me. Was in 4th gear plowing through a flat field. The wreck wasn’t pretty and messed up my wrist. They tried to convince me to stop and not finish the last 50 miles. Ha! Don’t think so. Had already ridden 40 miles after the wreck.

In the PNW, there are a few good areas to ride and I’m up there normally every weekend. But a new bike is on its way and the other is torn down and getting ready to be sold. I will miss it!

2020 hasn’t been kind to a lot of people. The year started out with getting hit by a drunk driver who was going 50mph when he rear ended us. Totaled our trailer and our truck. Frame was taco’d

I was the only one injured somehow. Severe whiplash, torn shoulder and left with nerve damage in my neck. This year was spent going to doctors, MRIs, X-rays and surgeries. Has 2021 arrived yet?

Thank goodness the birbs were here this year. Had to take months off of riding to recover. They are the perfect creatures to get your mind off of crap.

Man there are so many that I don’t have pictures for so I can’t use them as hobby entries.

I love to do woodworking as well, like building birdhouses and kinda designing or reinventing diff things. I’ve been enjoying it since I was 9 or so. Right now I’m in the middle of designing a model and then building a coop and run so I can keep more ducks again in spring. I would take a picture of the model but it’s a really sad pitiful model...when I remake the model I could edit this post and include a pic. I might just make another post once I start on the coop
